SEAToday.com, Gaza - Israel, on early Thursday (6/6), attacked a school in central Gaza that was used as a shelter. The attack killed at least 32 displaced Palestinians, including 23 women and children, according to local health officials.
Al-Sardi school, run by the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) in the Nuseirat refugee camp, was filled with Palestinians who had fled Israeli offensives and bombardment in northern Gaza. Witnesses and hospital officials said the strike happened before dawn. The lack of light and electricity causes challenges in evading the victims.
Israel claimed the school was used by the Hamas group. Spokesperson for Gaza’s Government Media Office, Ismail al-Thawabta, however, disputed the claim and called it a “horrible massacre”.
"The occupation uses lying to the public through false, fabricated stories to justify the brutal crime it conducted against dozens of displaced people," he said.
